The Holy Sacrament of Baptism

A husband and wife from New Mexico wanted to become Holy Spirit filled Orthodox Christians. They went to St Anthony of the Desert in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  After spending in prayer the pair went to spoke with an Orthodox Priest who informed them that Orthodox Baptism is done by three immersions in water like John the Baptist did when he baptized our Lord JESUS CHRIST.  There is an alternative to full immersion known as “Holy Chrismation."  This is a Sacrament in which the baptized believer, being anointed with Holy Chrism on certain parts of the body, in the name of the Holy Spirit, receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit for growth and strength in spiritual life.”  It is often for the infirm, ill, or those not suited to full immersion. Full immersion is considered the correct and desired form of the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. 

The Husband feeling shy opted for "Holy Chrismation" rather then the conventional 3 times immersion Baptism.  After much prayer, the wife wanting to be like her Lord JESUS CHRIST, felt led to chose the standard baptism (the three times immersion.)  During the Holy Sacrament of Baptism no one saw or felt anything out of the ordinary.  The ceremony was well received and everyone, most especially the couple were happy.  It wasn't until after the ceremony when their pictures were developed that the true Divine power of the sacrament of Baptism was revealed.

The wife who followed in the footsteps of our Lord JESUS CHRIST was shinning with Holy Light.  The wife was glowing a pure and Holy White so bright that her human body can not be seen in the photos. Only the Divine light of our King and Savior JESUS CHRIST is visible radiating through her.  It is clear to see that washed in the Sacrament of Baptism her soul became white as snow (clean) and glowing like an angel.  All of this, while captured by the camera, was unseen by the unaided human eye.   Very often, the camera will always capture what the eyes cannot see.

The wife appeared normal to all those present at the Baptism, but Divinely different through the lens of the camera's spectrum.


 "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.  But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said...

 “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”  
Matthew 3: 13-17

  1. and where are the original pics? These are altered and minimized to minimum. So in a photography perspective, these are not accepted. In order to convince and prove that there is something in the picture, you need the original file with the metadata.

    anything less, debunks it. I am a photographer myself (studied it) and I did made it once to get a strange picture accidently, BUT I DO have the raw file, 25mb of size and without any editing! str8 from the camera, it can easily be proved and all info is there.. I gave you my point.

    So forgive me to tell you that this tells nothing, at least, since you decide to prove the opposite with facts and raw data.

  2. These are simple people who do not have the skills to alter photographs. The photos are real I have seen the originals. Why would some one fake this? There is no money to be made and the couple did not want attention. Also, when the pics were taken no one saw anything. It was only AFTER the photos were developed that the light of GOD can be seen. AGAIN, why would anyone fake this?

  3. Error:
    There is an alternative to full immersion known as “Holy Chrismation."

    Newly baptized person is also christmated. Christmation is NOT an alternative.
